Linda Isaac, Frontiers in Emotion Science. 2012; (June)

This commentary highlights key points presented by Bediou et al. (2012) in Frontiers in Psychology. The authors have provided a foundation upon which to investigate face-emotion processing as a biomarker for both psychological and neurological diseases. To date, Bediou et al. (2012) are the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of the unique deficits in face-emotion processing associated with a wide range of diseases including but not limited to neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders, psychopathology, and neurodevelopment disorders.
